He's lucky he's getting British prison and not American.

High-security 'cat a' prisons in the UK are no joke. Massive overcrowding / gangs / drugs / stabbings / murders, not much different to the US. 

Earlier this year, a child killer in prison was beaten to death with a metal bar. This is not uncommon. I suspect Russell Brand will be segregated; he'll be an easy target and extorted for money (protection), etc.

@Wilhelm44 hectic. Especially maximum security. 

The stories told from my stepdad shocked me. 

Let's just say - the guards willingly turn a blind eye to "justice" among the inmates. Especially when the guards have children. 

The guards are there to keep them from getting out not to protect them.

Looks like he might get 6-9 years. That's serious time.

[Jodistrict]

The prosecutors have other victims coming forward, including a16 year old girl.  They should be able to keep in in prision for life.

That would be wild.

No. Brand shouldn’t get more time than Diddy.

Diddy was found guilty of 2 counts of transporting people for sex.

That is less serious than rape.

UK rape sentencing guidelines:

He will get 4 years minimum. Likely much longer. 5-10 years seems likely.

Do you think he ever thought that some day he’d pay the piper? I can’t imagine the anxiety about one’s past catching up to them in this way

[Jodistrict]

It’s baffling that he has such hypnotic powers over people.  I don’t get it.  I just find him disgusting. 

When he started out, he posed as a leftist and met with numerous left-wing politicians.  Then he switches to the right and meets with right-wing politicians.  Just a few weeks ago he was with RFK, Jr. 

Below is a picture of Russell Brand baptizing Christians in Florida.   What do people see in him?  Is this evidence of the extreme low consciousness of society?

Since that documentary came out, yes. He has known he could get really screwed by his past, which is why he made that right-wing, pro-Jesus shift.

He knew the left would throw him under the bus.

He used to say some genuinely intelligent and progressive things. Before Covid and the documentary rotted his mind.

He is nevertheless a charming personality. Charming and raping are not mutually exclusive.

It’s interesting to compare Russell Brand’s speech style to Trump.   They both have this stream of consciousness style of talking where they never end a sentence.  But each style has a different personality.  The style captivates a person's attention and makes them want to listen.  They both can talk about absolutely nothing and make it sound important.   It is hypnosis for the masses.   It has given them both real power.

That is just called charisma. Charisma can be used for good or for evil. Charisma is just a tool.

Yes, Covid rotted his brain. I read some of his books and enjoyed them before then. They were about his recovery, they left out the rape though.

[Jodistrict]

I doubt it has anything to do with Covid.  He is like Trump.  He is a master manipulator who saw the winds of change and hopped on board with a new identity.  He used his verbal skills and voice hypnosis to override people’s critical thinking and sold his identity change as the natural progression of a thoughtful person.  What I find interesting is how will he adopt to prison life?  Will he be able to form a successful identity that works in prison?  Will he be baptizing ax murderers?

@Jodistrict He's too rich to learn anything in prison.

Too cynical.

I'm sure he will learn many painful lessons.

He probably learned a lot already after 1 night in jail.

Remember, he's not some superhero, it's just a guy, no different than you.
